The 13 best vegetarian restaurants in Vienna

// 13 of 16 vetted Vienna spots · updated September 2026

A grilled-vegetable plate bolted onto a steakhouse menu is not a vegetarian restaurant. These are the Vienna kitchens where the meat-free cooking is the reason to go — Viennese Market, Austrian and Austrian Wine Bar among them: 13 spots, 6 of them fully vegan, pulled from the 16 we have vetted in the city. Chosen the way locals choose, never through a marketing budget.

14.7
Viennese Market
Naschmarkt
The Naschmarkt runs the length of the Wienzeile: Vienna's biggest open-air market and, by now, its most-used outdoor dining room. Produce stalls, spice merchants, Turkish and Middle Eastern grocers and a long line of stands and small kitchens sit shoulder to shoulder, most with tables out front. Eating here costs around €10, and the range is wide enough that vegetarians never have to search. On Saturdays the flea market at the far end pulls half the city down the Wienzeile. It is the one place in Vienna where the food is not Viennese by default, and it has been that way for a very long time.
Terrace: There is outdoor seating for warmer days.

Austrian
Gasthaus Elsner
Gasthaus Elsner is an Austrian inn on Neumayrgasse in Ottakring, well out past the Gurtel in Vienna's sixteenth district. Four independent local sources name it, which for an address this far from the centre means the recommendation is coming from people who live nearby. Mains run around eighteen euros, vegetarian dishes are on the card, and there are tables outside. Ottakring is working Vienna, and the Gasthaus is its default institution: one room, one kitchen, a menu everyone in the street already knows by heart.
Terrace: There is outdoor seating for warmer days.

Austrian Wine Bar
Zum Wohl Wien
On Schrankgasse in Neubau, Vienna's seventh district, Zum Wohl pours Austrian wine and cooks small plates to go with it. Neubau is the part of the city that fills with small shops, galleries and studios behind the MuseumsQuartier, and its wine bars are correspondingly informal. The list stays Austrian, which in practice means Grüner Veltliner and Riesling from the Danube and the Weinviertel alongside reds from further south. Food is deliberately secondary — seasonal plates around €16, vegetarian options included — and the kitchen runs in the evening. A small room, a young crowd, no pretension about either.
Dietary: Vegetarian options are on the menu.

Austrian Wine Bar
Zum Wohl
Zum Wohl is a Viennese wine bar built around Austrian bottles, with small plates sized to match. Austria's wine is its most underrated export — dry Grüner Veltliner and Riesling from the Danube terraces, reds from the warmer south and east — and a wine bar here means a list drawn from those growers rather than an international spread. The food follows the glass rather than leading: seasonal small plates, vegetarian options among them, at around €16. Relaxed in register, local in crowd.
Dietary: Vegetarian options are on the menu.

Asian
Tofu und Chili
Vegan
Tofu und Chili sits on Linke Wienzeile beside the Naschmarkt, an Asian kitchen whose name tells you where its sympathies lie. Vegetarian and vegan dishes run through the card rather than sitting in a corner of it, and mains land around eighteen euros. There are tables outside, which on this stretch means watching the market crowd thin out through the afternoon. The sixth district end of the Wienzeile has long been where Vienna's cheaper, faster Asian cooking clustered, and this is a plainly kept room in that tradition.
Terrace: There is outdoor seating for warmer days.

Austrian
Gasthaus Pöschl
Gasthaus Poschl is a small Austrian inn on Weihburggasse, a quiet first-district street a few corners from Stephansplatz. Three independent local sources name it, and the appeal is scale: a handful of tables, a printed Speisekarte of Viennese classics, mains around eighteen euros, vegetarian dishes included. There is no terrace, so the whole thing happens in one modest room. The centre of Vienna is not short of restaurants aimed at people passing through; this is one of the few on these streets that still reads as a neighbourhood Gasthaus, which is why locals guard the address.
Dietary: Vegetarian options are on the menu.

Hungarian
Bistro Budapest
Vegan
Budapest Bistro on Pilgramgasse does Hungarian breakfast in Vienna, which is a narrower and better idea than a general Hungarian menu would be. Open since 2014 in the fifth district, it builds the day around the eggs, sausage, paprika and bread of the Hungarian morning table, at around ten euros a plate, with vegetarian and vegan dishes and takeaway available. Vienna and Budapest have swapped recipes for centuries under one empire, and most of that traffic ran in the other direction. Margareten is an unpretentious quarter, and this small room fits it exactly.

Indian
Der Wiener Deewan
Vegan
Der Wiener Deewan on Liechtensteinstrasse serves Pakistani home cooking buffet-style, under a motto its own website prints plainly: food for everyone. Five independent local sources point to it, and the format explains the loyalty. Curries, dals and rice are set out to be helped from rather than ordered off a list, which makes it unusually easy to eat well as a vegetarian or vegan here. Mains sit around sixteen euros, there is takeaway and catering, and a few outdoor tables in the ninth district. Alsergrund is student territory, and the room has the noise to match.
Terrace: There is outdoor seating for warmer days.

Cafe
Café Kandl
Cafe Kandl sits on Kandlgasse in Neubau, a neighbourhood cafe of the unshowy kind with three independent local sources behind it. Plates stay around ten euros, vegetarian options are on the card, and the outdoor tables are the point on any warm day in the seventh district. It works as the corner you end up at rather than the one you plan for, which in Vienna is a compliment. Neubau's side streets are full of these rooms, and the ones that last are usually the ones the immediate blocks have quietly adopted as their own.
Terrace: There is outdoor seating for warmer days.

Italian
El'Gemini
Vegan
An Italian kitchen on Spengergasse in Margareten, keeping prices at the neighbourhood end with plates around ten euros. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are on the card, and the room runs all day into the evening, with a later start on Saturdays. There is no terrace; this is an indoor, sit-down meal in Vienna's fifth district. Spengergasse is residential and busy with students from the technical school nearby, and El'Gemini reads as a local answer to that traffic rather than a destination trattoria: familiar Italian food, priced so that it can be a weekday habit.
Dietary: Vegetarian options are on the menu.

Pizza
Disco Volante
Vegan
Disco Volante on Gumpendorfer Strasse makes Neapolitan pizza in a former disco, and keeps enough of the old room to earn the name. Three independent local sources point here. The card is short by design: dough given time, a tight run of toppings, vegetarian and vegan versions included, mains around sixteen euros. There are tables outside on one of Mariahilf's best streets. Vienna has no shortage of pizza, but the places that commit to a single method and defend it are rarer, and the mirror-ball ceiling is a good joke that the kitchen refuses to be.
Terrace: There is outdoor seating for warmer days.

Ramen
Mochi Ramen Bar
Mochi Ramen Bar is on the Vorgartenmarkt in Leopoldstadt, and its own description of itself is an homage to Japan's noodle-soup cuisine. Noodles are made fresh in house daily, the broths are built to be strong rather than polite, and toppings run wide; Japanese starters, desserts and mochi fill out the card. Three independent local sources point here. Mains sit around sixteen euros, with vegetarian choices and market-side tables outside. No reservations are taken, so it runs first come, first served, and the counter is where the bowls look best.
Terrace: There is outdoor seating for warmer days.

Bohemian
Am Nordpol
Vegan
Am Nordpol 3 keeps a Bohemian kitchen alive in Leopoldstadt, cooking the Czech side of Vienna's culinary family tree. The name comes from its address on Nordpolstrasse, and three independent local sources send people down it. Expect the hearty end of the register, mains around eighteen euros, with vegetarian and vegan dishes noted on the card. A garden and outdoor tables make it a summer proposition as much as a winter one. Vienna absorbed Bohemian cooking centuries ago and then largely forgot to name it; places like this one still do.
